Great Alaska Pizza Company

★ 5 $$$$

Local pizza chain, $ slices, and a 5.0 rating in ANC

Great Alaska Pizza Company gives you an Alaskan brand in Ted Stevens Anchorage International instead of the usual national chains. It’s a quick-service spot in the terminal, with counter ordering and food ready in a few minutes. Pricing sits in the airport-budget range: think a few dollars per slice rather than a sit-down bill, solidly in the $ tier.

Portions run large for the price, so one or two slices can cover a short South or North Terminal layover. Reviews call the pizza “average” but acceptable, with one traveler saying it’s “better than gas-station pizza but not destination-worthy.” If you need something simple before a 3–5 hour flight, this hits that middle ground between fast food and a full meal.

Menu is straight-ahead: cheese, pepperoni, and a couple of standard toppings, plus whole pies for groups. One parent summed it up as “good for kids who just want pizza and nothing weird,” which helps if you’re traveling with picky eaters. Regulars on longer flights often buy a whole pie to share at the gate instead of paying individually for 4–5 slices.

Common complaints focus on value and freshness: some say the price feels high versus quality, and others mention slices sitting under heat lamps during slower times of day. A few notes call out limited seats around the stand and crowding during noon–6 p.m. rushes, so plan to carry your food back toward your gate if every stool is taken.

What regulars do: they ask the staff for a fresh pizza instead of grabbing from the warmer, then wait the extra 10–15 minutes. If you’re doing that, build the buffer and place your order right after you clear security so you’re not sprinting to boarding with a hot box in hand.
